Walid Saadaoui, 38, and Amar Hussein, 52 , were convicted at Preston Crown Court after investigators uncovered their plan to smuggle automatic weapons and ammunition into the UK. Authorities revealed that the men intended to launch a gun rampage targeting mass gatherings of Jewish people.

YouTube Reaches $24.5M Settlement in Trump Account Suspension Case

                    YouTube To Pay $24.5 Million To Settle Donald Trump's Lawsuit Over Account Suspension.

YouTube has agreed to pay $24.5 million to settle a lawsuit brought by President Donald Trump over the suspension of his account following the January 6, 2021 Capitol riots.

According to court filings in Oakland, California, $22 million of the settlement will be directed to the Trust for the National Mall, funding the construction of a new White House State Ballroom—one of Trump’s long-standing projects. The remaining $2.5 million will go to other plaintiffs, including the American Conservative Union and several individuals who joined the case.

YouTube suspended Trump’s channel on January 12, 2021, citing concerns about the potential for further violence. The account was reinstated in March 2023, but Trump pursued legal action, arguing that the ban unlawfully silenced conservative viewpoints.

The settlement follows similar agreements Trump has reached with other platforms: Meta paid $25 million earlier this year, while X (formerly Twitter) settled for $10 million.

Importantly, the deal does not constitute an admission of wrongdoing by YouTube or its parent company, Alphabet. Instead, it closes one of the most high-profile legal battles between Trump and major tech platforms over content moderation and political speech.
